Dr. Caroline Hoffman is a psychiatrist specialising in the treatment of sexual addictions. When first a stranger, then Caroline's lover and then a male patient of hers are all found raped and strangled to death by a chain within a matter of days, she becomes the prime suspect. Accused of these heinous sex crimes, Caroline is plunged into a terrifying labyrinth where, over the course of a heart-stopping ten days, she must not only prove her innocence but risk her career and ultimately her life to bring the true killer to justice. After a link is made between the killings and a painting depicting the myth of the goddess Aphrodite and her lover in chains, suspicion shifts to a deeply troubled beauty in Caroline's therapy group. In fiercely defending her patient, Caroline is cunningly led into a lethal, horrifying trap...the denoument a revelation of shattering truth.
